Find how much each earns

pres =6 and 3/4 times mec pay=17.25 times 6.75=116.4375, about $116.44
janitor is 3/4 or 0.75 of janitor=17.25 times 0.75=12.9375, about $12.94

add them

$17.25+$116.4275+$12.9375=146.615
round

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • At a factory, a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour.
  • The president of the company earns 6³/₄ times as much for each hour he works.
  • The janitor at the same company earns ³/₄ as much as the mechanic.

<u>Question:</u>

How much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us prepare a model for a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour.

\boxed{\$ 17.25}

Let us do multiplication on a fraction at first.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times 17.25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 17.25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{17.25}{4} \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times 4.3125 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 12.9375 \ }}

Then we make a model for the president of the company who earn 6³/₄ (six and three quarter) times as much for each hour the mechanic works. Recall that \boxed{6\frac{3}{4} \ parts = 6 \ parts + \frac{3}{4} \ parts}

\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{12.9375}

Let's calculate how much the president of the company earns for each hour.

\boxed{ \ = (6 \times \$ 17.25) + \$ 12.9375 \ }

\boxed{ \ = \$ 103.5 + \$ 12.9375 \ }

\boxed{ \ \$ 116.4375 \ }

And we also calculate for the janitors who earn ³/₄ as much as the mechanic.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times 17.25 = 12.9375 \ }

Finally, let's add up all earning to find out how much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work.

\boxed{ \ \$ 17.25 + \$ 116.4375 + \$ 12.9375 = \$ 146.625 }

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + x^2 = 13^2

144 + x^2 = 169

x^2 = 25

square root both sides

x = 5

to check, do 12^2 + 5^2 =169

sqrt of 169 is 13

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Sacramento is 8cm from San Francisco.

8cm in map = 91 miles

91/8 = 11.375

1cm in map = 11.375 miles

Sacramento is 7 cm away from Modesto.

7 · 11.375 = 79.625

The actual distance is 79.625 miles

Hey can you please help! posted picture of question

The solution of the system can be x - 3y = 4 only if both the equations can be simplified to x - 3y = 4.

This will mean that both the equations will result in the same line which is x - 3y = 4 and thus have infinitely many solutions.

Second equation is:

Qx - 6y = 8 
Taking 2 common we get:

(Q/2)x - 3y = 4

Comparing this equation to x- 3y = 4, we can say that 

Q/2 = 1
So,
Q = 2

Therefore, the second equation will be:

2x - 6y = 8
